Leland Tower, Historic skyscraper in Aurora, Illinois.
Leland Tower is a 22-story building on Stolp Island featuring Italian Romanesque architecture and stands as Aurora's tallest structure. The former hotel has been converted into a residential building with apartment units.
The building was constructed in 1928 and was then the tallest structure in Illinois outside Chicago. It rose during a period of economic growth in the city.
The Sky Club on the top floor was a gathering place where well-known people came together. This exclusive lounge shaped the city's social life during that era.
The building is located at 7 South Stolp Avenue and is easy to reach. Visitors should keep in mind that it is a private residential building, so access is limited.
The building was used by blues musicians as a recording location, including sessions by John Lee Williamson. This musical history is often overlooked part of the site's past.
